We have created a specific Covid-19 area on our website dedicated to offering you support, guidance and information to help you navigate your way through these challenging times.
As you may already know Impact Funding Partners have taken measures to address the current Covid 19 pandemic which we are currently living through. Our offices are closed and staff are working from home but this doesn't mean our work has stopped, and it certainly doesn't mean the work of our hundreds of funded projects has stopped either.
The Workplace Equality Fund aims to support Scottish Businesses to identify and promote practice that works to reduce employment inequalities, discrimination and barriers in the workplace. In 2018/2019 the fund focused on four priority groups, one of which was Women. Of the twenty two projects funded, nine focused on breaking down barriers in the workplace for women.
We’re pleased to announce that we’ve undergone a full and exciting rebrand.
Building on our 36 years’ experience in putting money where it matters, the Voluntary Action Fund will be continuing that work in the future, but under a new name – Impact Funding Partners.
The services we offer and the team that help deliver them hasn’t changed. So feel free to explore the site further, and learn just how we at Impact Funding Partners plan to create a fairer future.
